[laughter] having said that, i thought i would come into the briefing room to say a few words about my departing press secretary. as some of you know, robert started very early with me on this wild ride that i had been on. i had run for the united states senate. i was not expected to win. when i won, the democratic primary in illinois, i realize that was going to have to start stocking up a little bit. at the time, i only had six or seven people working for me. i did not have a lot of money, so all that i could afford was robert gibbs.
